We use complex scripts to make it work. You have chosen to avoid using those scripts, so now you have to, in effect, recreate them. One procedure is to build the stage1 gcc with --disable-libgcc, use that to build a stub glibc, use that to build the stage2 gcc, which this time will get a libgcc_eh, and use that to build the final glibc. Building a stub glibc means just building the startup files and an empty shared libc.so. Some background at http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/492 . Ian
